Campeggio Baia di Trainiti

The stretch of coastline that Campeggio Baia di Trainiti lies on is dubbed the 'Coast of the Gods' due to its spectacular white beaches and cliffs, so there are plenty of excellent beaches with water-based opps such as sea fishing trips, sailing, windsurfing and scuba diving within easy reach of the site. For more beaches, boat trips, narrow laneway wanders and happening across hidden restaurant-filled squares, the vibrant seaside resort of Tropea lies around half an hour’s drive from Campeggio Baia di Trainiti. Elsewhere, history-based sightseeing can be had over in ancient Pizzo (also half an hour’s drive away), hailed as one of Calabria’s handsomest towns and a splendid spot to have an amble around: 50 metres above sea level on a steep cliff overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, the old town is filled with pastel-painted houses, winding alleyways and steep stone steps, and backs onto La Marina beach. For food while you’re over this way, tuna and tartufo ice cream are this town’s culinary speciality, so dining on freshly caught fish and sampling the sweet stuff in one (/some/all) of the town’s 15 family-run gelaterie are both a must.
